Throwback to Kevin Harlan’s legendary call of a cat on the field in the middle of the game 😂

OVERNIGHT: A federal judge has issued an order that bans @dhsgov from altering or deleting evidence/footage connected to Alex Pretti's killing by an ICE agent.

"The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting." @DHSgov said ICE agents shot Alex Pretti because he was violent during an immigration enforcement operation, but a lack of evidence is raising more questions.

A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN: "We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex

Videos analyzed by @nytimes appear to contradict DHS accounts that the man approached agents with a handgun and the intent to “massacre” them. Footage shows the man holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when agents take him to the ground.

There’s zero evidence to support this claim.

"I'm not naive, Newsom says. "These guys want to take me down, not just my state."

"I want you to know, Donald Trump is a historic American president. He’s a historically unpopular president," Newsom says. "He will not run again. Time of life denies that."

"The Trump administration is weakness masquerading as strength," @GavinNewsom says at the World Economic Forum. "I think we need to stand up in America and call it out. It's why I came here, to call it out. And I wish there were more of us calling it out."
